Leverage Calculator
Find the leverage behind a position and margin.
Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. This tool shows the leverage implied by your exposure versus the margin you have committed, plus effective leverage versus your total balance.

Frequently asked questions
What is effective leverage?
Effective leverage is your total open exposure divided by your account equity. A single 1:30 position on a small account can mean much higher effective leverage.
Is higher leverage better?
Not necessarily. Leverage increases potential return and potential loss equally. Retail limits exist in many regions precisely because of this risk.
